Scholar-generated biography
Fraser Kennedy's research focuses on the ecological and physiological responses of marine microorganisms, particularly in polar and extreme environments. His work explores the impact of environmental stressors such as temperature, light, and pH on the physiology and metabolism of Antarctic sea ice algae and diatoms. He investigates the role of these organisms in biogeochemical cycles, including carbon flux and nutrient dynamics, and examines their interactions with microbial communities. Kennedy also studies the molecular mechanisms underlying survival strategies in dark and low-temperature conditions, such as the production of nitric oxide and oxidative stress responses. His research contributes to understanding the ecological significance of sea ice habitats and their potential under climate change.
